This listing is for mat only. The Montessori 45 cards layout mat provides control of error for young children. It is color-coordinated to match the large cards.

The Montessori 45 Layout is an early place value work. Your child explores and builds a physical place value chart on the floor with Golden Beads and large number cards, units through thousands. This layout will help your child to visualize and develop an understanding of place value, order of numbers, and concentration.


OBJECTIVE(S)

1. To give an overall view of the decimal system and the fact that in the base then there may be no more than nine in any one category, for both beads and cards.

2. To make evident the parallel hierarchy of the quantities and their symbols.

3. To combine the quantities and symbols in practice and to become familiar with their correspondence.
